What did you do to your mk7 today?

[Diggs24]

Nice job. Have fun.

Purchased both the ECU and TCU TUNE from EQT, the larger turbo file, since the littco hybrid will go in ...one of these days.
I also received the new IC piping from CTS Turbo. (and their throttle body pipe).

Bäsemödel got GTI calipers, Austins, and a wash, but I can only prove 1 and 2 : )

Tornado red looks great with winter white accents

Did the clutch spring delete after having the car for almost a year. Upshifts and down shifts feel so much more natural now. More like my old honda. Feels way less artificially light. Clutch push in effort was negligibly increased. This is in addition to a home depot clutch stop, torque solution bushings and HPA short shifter. I don't know why I didn't do this earlier.

Nicely done. Have you deleted the delay valve as well? If so, I would recommend the DieselGeek shifter shaft bushes next

 

[akimmel]

No I haven't done either of those yet. Although I just got 2 containers of dot4 from DAP in the mail today so I can do my 3yr/30k brake bleed, so maybe I will tackle the swirl valve in the near future. I had never considered the shaft bushings before but they look effective. However I broke the clips on my stock shift boot trim and replaced it with the clubsport knob so I'd be worried about breaking that one too [emoji51]

Swirl valve removal is barely noticeable. The clutch delay valve removal has a way bigger effect. Do that first.

Yeah I got them mixed up. It's the one inside the bleeder block you want to get rid of right?

Playing peekaboo. Installed rear reflector inserts a couple of days ago. Had my tails tinted today. DeAutoLED tail running/brake LED bulbs arriving soon.

That's a nearly free R600.

Stock intake fascia is open inside the passenger side, some say its for "engine cooling" I say it's stupid.

Also the R is air straight to filter and back through inlet piping. Stock forces air along a slimmer fascia, down a tiny duct that goes back up behind the intake box, back down an even smaller hole emptying into the bottom of the stock filter box, air then has to travel up through the dumbass plastic bottom "filter holder", through the stock filter element and then force it's way 90 degree back through another little angled hole directed towards the stock inlet pipe. Hence why it has such a muffling effect.

No thanks

Sure there's cheaper intakes that are literally just for sound, I choose the one that's made for this car with quality

Sweet thanks man.

Sucks that it's still $100 (replacement R600 filters are around that) but I understand also it's a custom piece made to fit this intake, and also with this I can use a dry element

Been lurking for a few months now.

Purchased a 2018 Gti SE back in February. 28Thousand miles later, no major issues except a creaky sunroof that I resolved based off solutions provided from this forum and I kept having a random misfires in cylinder 2 that I cleared up by adding some injector cleaner to a few tanks of gas(misfires haven't been back in months).

Added an open air intake yesterday and was tuned to APR Stage 1 93 octane high torque file. Smiled so much on my way home that my cheeks were hurtn for a few hours after.

This is my first VW, coming from Hondas and Toyotas. My last car was a Prius C... lol.

What kind of injection cleaner did you use?

Thanks

Looks good. So how are the quality on those inserts? You just stick them on? Have they made $10 knock offs yet?

Came in the other day. Center cap decals for my winter wheels. Trying to decide if I want to go Deutschland or Empire.
